    Hello, this is my first post and i registered for the sole purpose of seeking guidance and help from a community such as this one, so let me explain the problem now:

    My computer is an actually good one, ive downloaded stuff and everything was fine, till 2 days ago, normally i dont turn off my computer, and its been like that for 2 days almost, but just tonight i noticed something was strange:

    while trying to open any folder, or any program, i get a pop up message that says something like this:

    Attention,User! Some Dangerous trojan horses detected on your computer. Microsoft Windows files corrupted. This may lead to the destruction of important files in C:/WINDOWS. Download protection software now!

    Click OK to download the antispyware.(Recommended)


    obviously i pressed cancel, and it opened a new tab on my firefox windows, some tab with the name spywareadvancedscanner.com or something like that.

    any1 else had the same problem before? pls help i need to desinfect :(

    Your logs look clean.

    You may wish to use ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used ComboFix then UNINSTALL COMBOFIX (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
    2. Click START then RUN
    * Now type "%userprofile%\Desktop\cf" /u in the runbox ( or whatever you renamed it to) and click OK.
    * Note: The space between the cf and the /U, it must be there.
    3. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    4. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    5. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * Refer to the cleaning steps in the READ ME for your Window version and see the steps to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
    * Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    6. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
